A high level of technical ability and smooth well executed mixing is also required, which I feel is somewhat lacking nowadays. As a dj myself one of my pet hates is guys who's ego clearly outweighs their talent, i feel theres far to many of these people gigging regurlarly which is bringing the whole scene down, unfortunately its more about the ability to bring mates/buses than the music......which makes me sad
could not agree with you more its all about how many people you can bring rather than talent but then may be you have to have talent to attract so many followers, who knows its a case of the chicken or the egg???
